    There will be (should be) a whistleblowing policy though and that should be followed. That is not to say the letter isn’t disturbing on its own terms.

    What’s Jedinak up to these days?

    Don’t forget though that depending on how we did in the last game and the optimism levels of the fanbase, we are either going to win every game for the next year or lose 25 times on the spin.

    Ultimately, if we fall short I won’t be blaming the players or the manager or the club for that matter. We are stuck with an FFP system which does not allow us to succeed without our best 12 or 13 players involved every single week. We are simply not allowed to spend enough to swell the ranks of the players capable of challenging for the top 5 positions.

    That has to be the dumbest bit of spin I ever heard.
  6. Stephen_Evans
    I just do not understand how they do it again and again.

    Aaaaaanyway……..must be at least a week since I posted that claret detailing is essential to make Mr Heck’s badge work.

    Typical Doug, fixing broken clothes hangers instead of buying new ones!

    Let’s hope we don’t get the stadium equivalent of a residential flat roof extension, if you get my drift, ie an aesthetically disastrous afterthought. We’ve had enough of the Corner Flag / superbox / control tower monstrosities.

    Honestly, if the detailing on the lion is not claret having decided to have detailing at all, then this is a Heskey shot against the bar from 3 yards.

    Or a chance to purchase tickets for the Lower Grounds.

    Come on Chris, we know you or someone at the club is monitoring this…

    The detailing seems to work best with claret so that it ties in with the border and doesn’t introduce shades of grey to the colour palatte.
  14. Stephen_Evans
    If we are going with a tweak then surely the claret detailing (on the right) is the winner? Frustratingly, it is not one of the variations of the latest trademark application. Come on, Villa, it shouldn’t be this hard!
  15. Stephen_Evans
    The version where the detailing is claret is better because it gives some unity to the whole.

    And the third goal came from poor decision making when we had the ball.

    The frustrating aspect for me in many games is the lack of urgency. Control is great but control can mean fast as well as slow. We’re sometime “chasing” games in injury time and knock it around at the back like we’re 3-0 up. And there are some players who play to the “system” at the cost of some imagination, like Cash with the constant check inside and resetting.
  18. Stephen_Evans
    All this checking inside.

    It’s a strange one, this whole saga. I absolutely detest the trademarked version and yet the Bosko’s boot fellow’s version with the claret overlay on the lion suddenly transforms it into something I could get behind.

    Agree with those who are nervous, but taking a step back, who would have thought after match day 1 we would have the opportunity to go 17 points clear of Newcastle in the return fixture. That would be a 20 point turnaround!
  21. Stephen_Evans
    Off topic I know, but I will laugh a lot that the Liverpool job will have become vacant nearly three years after Slippy joined us and he won’t be getting it.
  22. Stephen_Evans
    You agree then that 2024/25 is not the club’s 150th season but its 151st?
  23. Stephen_Evans
    1874/75 was our first season which makes 2023/24 our 150th season, at the end of which we will be 150 years old. Just in case anyone from the club reads these pages.
  24. Stephen_Evans
    Unless he goes to Man City and the longer term injury issues mysteriously disappear.

    I was more admiring how you have managed to do all the great designs to share with us in your spare time while all the badge dramas have unfolded. Apologies if that is not how it came across.
